PRODUCEDWATER TREATMENTDeoiling Hydrocyclones, Efficient Primary Treatment
ePROCESS DEOILER HYDROCYCLONE BASED SYSTEM PROVIDES AN EFFICIENT, COMPACT, AND DURABLE PRODUCED WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM.
eProcess Deoiler hydrocyclones are
pressure drop dependent, where fluids
are directed into the deoiler tube
causing the fluids to spin under
a centrifugal force. These strong forces
cause the two immiscible liquids (oil
and water) to separate. The heavier
water phase is forced outward toward
the cyclone wall and the lighter oil phase
migrates toward the centre core.
By accurately controlling the pressures
across the hydrocyclone the water phase
is sent in one direction to the underflow,
and the oil phase is sent in the opposite
direction to the overflow. The process
is a simple and effective separator,
with a 2-3 second retention time, and no
moving parts.

PRODUCED WATER TREATMENT
Hydrocyclone based process systems are the most cost-effective solution for tough produced water treatment cleanup. Located directly downstream on the water outlet of the production separator and upstream of the water level control valve, these systems operate in a proportional “pressure ratio” control manner.
Don’t tolerate produced water bottlenecks, preventing maximum hydrocarbons production. The Deoiler is the standard for compact, efficient, economic produced water treatment applications, providing the highest capacity per unit footprint area.
APPLICATIONS • Pre-separator and De-hydrator capabilities;
• Produced Water Cleanup;
• Free Water Knockout;
• Downhole Water Reinjection.
BENEFITS• No moving parts;
• Compact, 10% the size and weight of conventional systems;
• Motion has no effect on performance;
• Most efficient, and cost effective solution to water
treatment problems.
OPERATIONS• Deoilers typically separate over 99% by volume of the lighter oil
phase with particles from 10 – 20 microns and larger;
• Produced water streams contain less than 1% oil in water, and
typically contain between 1,000 – 5,000 ppm. At these levels
a hydrocyclone based water treatment system will typically
clean water in the range of 10 – 40 ppm;
• Individual hydrocyclone capacities are dependent on the available
pressure, and the type of cyclone used. Smaller high efficiency
cyclones range from 80 – 500 BWPD per tube. Larger high
capacity cyclones range from 450 –3,000 BWPD per tube;
• Innovative pressure vessel packaging ensures any customer
turndown requirements can be met, on-line, without downtime.
